[ At some point throughout the week, Lucifer may stumble upon something sitting on his dresser that wasn't there before: a single photograph lying face up, revealing the smiling face of Chloe Decker donning a blue Los Angeles Police Department uniform. She looks mostly the same with her blue eyes and blonde hair tied back into her signature bun, but younger by about a decade or so. There was a brightness to her expression that was far more pronounced with her badge and the "Officer Decker" name tag clipped to her shirt.
If Lucifer were to turn it over, he would see her name written on the back with the date on it, as well as a sticky note attached that read: "This does not mean you can start asking for nudes. -Chloe" ]
[He might have passed that picture for most of the morning, but the flash of pale skin and dark blue would have caught his eye eventually. When he did find it, he picked it up, looking at it with a ridiculous smile before flipping it over to see the note. That got a laugh out of him and a few moments later, he was straightening his cuffs after having redressed himself. Why redressing?
Well, because one had to be nude to take a nude photo, of course. A photo which he then sent along to Chloe with a text message:]
How about if I give one in return? You're always welcome to return that favor.
[ She wasn't sure when he'd find the photo, but she knew it couldn't be too long. It wasn't much; she hadn't even really known why she wanted to give it to him, but after they'd discussed it days ago, it felt important in its own way. Something she wanted to share with him because it mattered to her.
So she's not entirely surprised to receive a text from him. What she is momentarily blindsided by is the flash of skin and -- yep. Yep, that's his dick. She closes her eyes and turns the phone face down, a hand drifting up to hold her forehead for a few moments. The worst part is it's her fault for putting that suggestion in his head, too.
Huffing a laugh, she shakes her head and picks the phone back up to text him back.]
Not a chance. Knowing the tech down here, those pictures would show up on the hellnet before I could even blink. Glad to know you haven't changed much since I saw you earlier, though.
You've got nothing to be ashamed of showing. They'd be lucky to get a glimpse. From what I've heard, my not-brother's made quite a bit renting out a certain film.
[He couldn't even be bothered by that. Chloe's part in that movie had come well before Lucifer had ever known her. Not to mention, it had been done of her own volition. If she wanted to strip nude and skip down the street, Lucifer would enjoy the show as much as anyone else. Though, he might follow closely behind in case anyone got any ideas. Other than that? As long as she was fine with being seen, he had no qualms with her showing herself. He encouraged it, really.]
If you want an exact reenactment, you'll have to say something naughty to get a rise out of me. Literally. Are you at work? I could bring something by for lunch.
It's not about shame. It's about taking responsibility for what I want floating out there and what I don't. And yeah, I bet he has. John told me he has three copies. Gross.
[ Except she'd been young and foolish at that time. She had no desire to be "seen" by the denizens of Hell, especially if it were an accident. Even if she had acted in that dumb movie, that had indeed been her choice; taking pictures for private use and having them put online would not be, and she didn't plan to risk it. She knew better. ]
I am. And while I'm tempted by the offer, you don't seem to be in a behaving kind of mood today.
